When is Aids Awareness Day? This special day is always observed on December 1

World Aids Awareness Day is today. This December 1 holiday day is noted around the world, by fundraisers and educational programs, and events. Its goals are to bring greater awareness to this disease, to support the fight against HIV/Aids and people who have it, along with searching for a cure.

HIV/AIDS is one of the world’s biggest medical crises. This disease was first spotted in 1959. It grew to epidemic proportions, peaking in the 1980s and 1990s. Thanks to awareness, medicine, and treatment, the number of people with this disease have dropped off dramatically. Worldwide, about 38.4 million people have aids. In 2021 aids deaths were 650,000, a decline of 68% since 2004.
